Conservative Twitter trolls make nasty remarks about former Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Kelda Roys

Conservative Twitter activists "Jim from Wisconsin" (real first name is presumably Jim, real last name is unknown) and "The Blum" (real name is unknown) made very nasty remarks about former Democratic Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Kelda Roys, including calling her a "whore" and telling her to "clean her own house first".

First, "Jim from Wisconsin" tweeted that he "bet" that Roys, who he called a "whore", "enjoyed every minute of the wanding". Second, "The Blum" told Roys via Twitter to "clean your own house first".

Roys responded by tweeting this:

I don't stalk anyone & I don't call you/your wife/sister/mom a whore. You only need answer for your behavior @Patrick501PIR @wijim500

Even if one disagrees with Kelda Roys's political views, I find it to be absolutely disgusting for a couple of Twitter trolls to talk about her in a blatantly sexist and disrespectful manner. This is 2013, yet many conservatives in this country are stuck in a 19th-century mindset when it comes to the role of women in American society. Today, many women hold many of the same types of jobs that, just a few decades ago, were once considered to be exclusively for men, yet there are many misogynists in this country who hold the long-outdated view that the only three roles for women are to cook, clean, and have children.

I want to send a clear message to "Jim from Wisconsin" and "The Blum": if you can't talk about Kelda Roys in a civil, respectful manner, don't talk about her at all.
